Problem to configure relative pathes using DOMConfigurator

["Gaussmann, Horst" <Ho...@db-ig.com>]

Hello to you!

I'am currently trying log4j and find it very useful. 

But there is one problem left.

I using log4j inside of tomcat with a webapplication and i want to configure
the file location 
of a FileAppender relative to my webapplication path. So i tried to
configure all parameters in a xml file - using DOMConfigurator to load the
information. After that i patched the file location ( using setFile(),
activateOptions() ) to be relative to my webapplication path.

The Problem is that the DOMConfiguration activates the xml configuration
directly during configuration loading.

Is it possible to disable this direct activation or disable a appender first
until i have patched the information for the file ? 

thanx horst
